I hope this is the right forum. My bike came with 44cm C-C handlebars. When I got a complete fitting, it was determined that a 50cm C-C handlebar is ideal. I haven't seen any traditional drop bars in that width, or a 48cm either. I searched all forums with no posts since 2005 or ones that helped.

I've developed some shoulder pain in the biceps tendon since riding and I'm attributing it to being too narrow while riding. Would going to a 46cm, and only gaining 1 cm per side help?

What are my options? I found these "Mountain Road Drop Bars" on the WTB website, but not sure if they'd work. While brainstorming, I came up with getting some drop bars made or adding some bar ends onto the handle bars. They'd be put on perdendicular to the bars, adding width for me. The could only be used when I wasn't anticipating shifting/breaking. So basically they'd be used while cruising along.


Thoughts?
